Chapter 145: Wan Sheng's Argument
After Manchester City announced the signing of Sergio Aguero, it immediately attracted the attention of countless media, and its focus even overshadowed the upcoming Champions League match. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ๏ฝiqugeใ ๏ฝ๏ฝfo
Sergio Aguero's value, salary, and Atletico Madrid's performance, among others, have been reported in the media.
After that, there is the prospect of Aguero after coming to Manchester City, of course, it is nothing more than Aguero being able to cooperate with a certain star of Manchester City to create the strongest striker in Europe and the like, similar reports are overwhelming, and it has also become the biggest news before the Champions League final.
In the midst of public opinion, there was also a news from the Spanish club Sevilla, that is, the official addition of Reyes, for which Sevilla paid 4.5 million euros.
When Aguero joined Manchester City for 63 million pounds, Reyes, who had a transfer fee of only 4.5 million euros, was difficult to attract, but the media who cared about Atletico Madrid still noticed the news and issued various comments, generally about 'Is Reyes leaving good or bad' or something, but not many media think that Reyes should not leave, mainly last season as a whole, Reyes did not perform well, there have been many comments criticizing Reyes, and now the "former golden boy" leaves, it is also somewhat logical.
At this time, some media were surprised to find that Atletico Madrid had gone a lot!
There have been comments in the Catalan media that 'Atletico Madrid is likely to fall apart', and it seems that this trend is really happening now, the season has just ended, and in just over a week, Atletico Madrid has six players left.
Among them, Merida, Assunรงรฃo and Dominguez are fringe players, Sergio Aguero and Reyes are the main players, and Diego Forlan is also the captain of Atletico Madrid.
The departure of six players has also made Atletico Madrid's squad much 'simpler', with Ace newspaper saying, "The most important thing for Atletico at the moment is to replenish the squad." โ
Later, they also quipped, "Perhaps the only good news is that Atletico don't have to worry about transfer funds!" โ
"Marca" calculated that Aguero's transfer to Manchester City brought nearly 77.5 million euros to Atletico Madrid, Reyes and Diego Fran together had 9.5 million euros, Merida and Dominguez were 6 million euros, and the departure of six players brought Atletico Madrid 93 million euros.
This huge gain is enough to buy even a team!
Atletico Madrid have become the biggest winners in the transfer market before the summer transfer has even really begun, and no matter what star they buy, they will not have to worry about transfer funds.
Atletico Madrid's transfer issue is also worrying, the team has only finalized one James Rodriguez so far, and the other new players have not even been shadowed, and it is certain that Atletico Madrid still needs to add a lot of players.
"As" newspaper is secretly anxious about the transfer of Atletico Madrid, "Atletico Madrid needs to hurry up!" โ
Many Spanish media outlets have also begun to sing lamentations for Atletico Madrid, and some hostile media have simply reported that 'Atletico Madrid cannot replenish good candidates', that 'the transfer will affect Atletico's overall preparations', or that 'Atletico Madrid has ushered in a purge' and 'Wan Sheng is not a pure football coach, he has become a capitalist'.
โโโโ
Wansheng didn't pay attention to what the Spanish media said.
He was already at Wembley Stadium in London, entered the central TV live broadcast room, and Wang Xiaolei was a guest with commentator Duan Xuan to explain the Champions League final.
In the Champions League final, fans watched the excitement, and the clubs competed for honor and money.
Needless to say, the Champions League champion brings glory, and the money it earns is also eye-catching.
The Champions League final was the most profitable in history.
According to a statistic by Kicker, the total economic effect of the Champions League final design will reach 369 million euros, with the winner of the Champions League final receiving 126 million euros, while the losing side will also receive 73 million euros, and London, as the host city, will also receive 52 million euros.
If all the economic benefits are taken into account, the economic effect of the entire Champions League final will amount to 369 million euros.
Barcelona and Manchester United are not only competing for glory, but the winner will become the biggest financial beneficiary of the Champions League.
Speaking to the media, Simon Chadwick, director of the Centre for International Studies in Sports Economics at Coventry University, said: "The growth of economic value is influenced by the club's image rights, television rights and so on. โ
According to the report provided by Simon Chadwick, the impact of the Champions League final is not only in Europe, but also in Latin America, which will be as much as 100 million euros.
Chadwick believes that 40 per cent of South Americans have Spanish ancestry, given the 12 South American players in the two teams participating in the Champions League final.
The impact of this final in Latin America will be record-breaking.
Which team will win?
Wan Sheng gave the answer, believing that Ferguson 'does not retire', then the winner will be Barcelona.
Of course, that's a joke.
But Wan Sheng's first words at the beginning of the broadcast were to continue the joke, "I said before that Barcelona will win because Mr. Ferguson doesn't seem to want to retire at the end of the season." โ
It sounds like a joke, but the reality is often dramatic. Many don't believe in this kind of drama, but undoubtedly, everyone loves drama. โ
"I want this drama to happen, so first of all, I want to state one thing - I'm for Barcelona! Although, in fact, I don't really like Josep [Guardiola's] old-fashioned guy......"
Wan Sheng simply put aside the lines when he spoke, and the commentator Duan Xuan looked helpless.
The camera turned to Wang Xiaolei.
Wang Xiaolei was a little shy, he was a guest on CCTV for the first time, and his young face was a little nervous, but he still said according to the 'lines', "I don't dare to go against the boss on weekdays, but now it's a TV station, I'm still optimistic about Manchester United, they are very strong, and the forward ability is very strong." โ
Finally, it was the turn of the commentator Duan Xuan to speak, and he asked, "Then in your opinion, where is the focus of this scene?" โ
"Messi!"
Wan Sheng and Wang Xiaolei spoke in unison.
Two days before the game, the English media, the Catalan media and other neutral media reported almost all around the players of both sides, and the most focused player was undoubtedly Messi.
Messi is Barcelona's number one star and core player, and his performance has undoubtedly affected Barcelona's performance.
But whether Messi can perform well is debatable.
As the British Football Newspaper reported, "On English soil, Messi needs to solve an unsolved conundrum: he has played here nine times but failed to score a goal, and against Manchester United at Wembley on Saturday, Messi wants to break the curse that has plagued him for so long." โ
Messi has visited England nine times, seven of them in the Champions League and two in friendlies, but he has not been able to score. However, Messi broke through Manchester United's door in Rome in the Champions League final two years ago.
Regarding the so-called curse of not scoring in England, Messi said: "It's true that I have never scored in England, but I don't worry about it because I believe it's just a coincidence. At Wembley I could have scored, but if we can win, it doesn't matter to me who scores. โ
Breaking the spell in an important game like the Champions League final obviously means a lot to Messi.
As well as wanting to tackle the problem, Messi is also looking to break the single-season record set by Ruud van Nistelrooy in the restructured Champions League, with the Dutchman scoring 12 goals in 2002-03 compared to Messi's current tally of 11.
In addition, there is no suspense that Messi won the honor of the top scorer in the Champions League for the third consecutive season.
It was also a feat that went down in history.
Messi is no stranger to Wembley Stadium, in July 2009, Barcelona played a friendly match against Al Ahly at Wembley Stadium, Barcelona won 4-1, but none of the goals were scored by Messi. In March 2010, Barcelona played Arsenal away, when Ibrahimovic's two goals helped Barcelona draw 2-2, and in the second leg, Messi staged a quadruple of the game.
Messi's last visit to England was in February this year, when Barbarona lost 2-1 at Arsenal and it was Villa who scored for Barcelona.
Is Messi an "away bug"? Obviously not, he has scored 15 away goals in the Champions League, whether in Ukraine, Germany, Denmark, Portugal or France. He also scored in the Champions League final in Rome and in the Club World Cup final in Abu Dhabi. Moreover, in England, Messi also has a good performance on the pitch, such as Iniesta's stunning shot at Stamford Bridge, which came from Messi's assist, and Villa's goal at the Emirates Stadium also came from Messi's assist. โ
Even without scoring, Messi scared the English defenders. It is worth mentioning that in the Champions League semi-finals not long ago, Messi broke the so-called curse of not scoring against Mourinho's team with two important goals......"
The expectations of the outside world for Messi are still relatively high, mainly because Messi's performance is too good, he has scored 47 goals and provided 21 assists for Barcelona in major competitions this season, and he is also the top scorer in the Champions League with 11 goals.
Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson is clearly not afraid of any player, and United also have a player that is feared by any team in the Premier League: Mexican Pea Hernandez, who averages one goal per third shot.
'Hernandez is a phenomenon this season and I think we used him correctly, at the right time. He progressed from a substitute player to a fringe player to a regular player. He's scored 20 goals this season and it's only his first season to see how much he's improved. I think it's very helpful for him to do a physical strength training in the morning, which gives him the strength in his upper body and can be used against the rigors of the Premier League. โ
Back to the central TV live broadcast room.
On the issue of Messi, Wan Sheng talked about it from a professional point of view, "He is the most capable and efficient player in the world, I think Messi is better than Ronaldo, Ronaldo prefers to play that kind of difficult goal, this is his habit, but it is a little impractical, Messi's football is more practical." โ
"The most dangerous thing is that Manchester United can't guard against Messi. Yes, they can't do anything about Messi. โ
"Don't say that Manchester United has any top defenders, it doesn't make sense, the Premier League is behind La Liga in terms of pure technical level, let alone a top player like Messi, Manchester United's backline has no experience in dealing with the world's top players."
Then Wan Sheng 'sarcastic' Ferguson again, "I know Mr. Ferguson very well, he is not a flexible person, Manchester United always use the same tactics, maybe he has a hand in employing people, but against Messi, he can't do anything." โ
"This will be the main reason why Manchester United lost!"
"It's not that they don't have enough strength, it's not that they have tactical problems, they just can't defend against Messi, that's all."
Speaking of which, the time is almost up.
There are three people in the live broadcast room of Central TV, and there is only one Wan Sheng who speaks, Wan Sheng said very directly, and he is not afraid of offending Manchester United fans at all, Wang Xiaolei has long been used to it, and the commentator Duan Xuan is still seeing Wan Sheng for the first time, and he is smiling bitterly next to him.
Duan Xuan just wanted to remind Wan Sheng not to be so full of words, but it was useless to remind him for a long time.
When the camera lens didn't point over, Duan Xuan also gestured to Gao Peng, the person in charge of the column, but Gao Peng and Wan Sheng had contact, but he just shook his head to let Wan Sheng play at will.
So Duan Xuan could only sigh that the treatment of famous people is different. Ordinary celebrities who are guests on CCTV have to read the lines step by step.
This one is good, and he has no scruples about talking at all! (To be continued.) )
